Sergei Palace Hotel

The accommodation impresses with its cleanliness, spacious rooms, and friendly staff. Its convenient location near city attractions and efficient service makes it highly recommended for travelers.

My wife and I arrived at this hotel on June 9th around 12:45 AM, we were checked in and to our surprise, the hotel was rather uniquely nice and clean. The rooms were good size and very clean, the location was just about 1 mile from the old city and close to many restaurants and other attraction. The area was very safe to walk at night as well. The breakfast was great, and most of all the gentleman that ran the daily restaurant operation name Shadi Shkeir was extremely courteous, respectful and attentive to your needs. However, we experienced a very bad encounter with a gentleman name Andrey whom I was told that he was the Arrival manager. On June 11th our departure day around 8 AM, as we were walking to the restaurant for breakfast, Andrey the EVIL man approached us and told us in an angry tone of voice as if we were his employees that we need to get our car out of the parking spot now. I tried to explain to him our check out time is not until 10 AM, but his aggression escalated, and it became a shouting match. Then Shadi notice what happened, he immediately intervened and said something to him in Hebrew which got this EVIL man to walk away. Incidentally, this same individual (Andrey the EVIL man) was involved in a very heated argument with 2 other gentlemen the day before in their main garden. Andrey is an angry disrespectful horrible and out of control man, that does not belong in any type of customer relation business, let alone a as a manager, he needs to be managed swiftly. On the other hand, Shadi's interference and taking charge of the situation as he witnessed what took place, demonstrated his com and collective personality, took charge of the matter, escorted us into the restaurant for our morning coffee. Then shortly thereafter, Shadi's manager Anton came to our table to extend his apology for what took place with that EVIL man and promised to report it to higher up management. I strongly believe that the owner of this nice hotel should remove Andrey from his position and should be terminated so other guests don't encounter the same treatment. Shadi would certainly make a great arrival manager simply based on the way he handled this terrible situation. Thank you Shadi for being a great host and a good man. Hopefully next time we come by, you'll be the new arrival manager. I would have given this hotel a 5 starts, but because of this EVIL man, they lost a star, hopefully they'll not lose business as well. Watch for the EVIL man (Andrey), and praise Shadi for his kind personality!!
